Welcome to the month of AUGUST, 2015. My 'header' this month was taken on a very 'smoke-filled' day (wildfires around) at Yellowstone National Park, September 2012.

This Year's TULIPS in our Yard

Since I featured all of this year's Daffodils in a previous post, I decided that, although I have featured some of these before, I will show you ALL of our nine different Tulips in our yard this year. You can choose your fav's. Above is a beauty called Tequila Sunrise!!!!! Below are more. Be sure and click to enlarge them.

This is also Tequila Sunrise Tulip--after it opens up... It starts yellow---and then turns redder, as it opens... Amazing, huh????

This beauty is named Bright Pink Lady. This is a gorgeous tulip I think.

I love the colors in this Tulip. Its name is Rembrandt.

This little Tulip is named Coors.

Here is Peppermint Stick Tulip---one of our unique ones!

These are called Apricot Beauty Tulips. Neat, huh?

Here is picture of our Mardi Gras Tulip.

This is also Mardi Gras Tulip. Whether it is open or closed, it is a beauty for sure!

These beauties are called Orange Emperor Tulips.

One of my favorites and our first Tulip to bloom this year was Red Dynasty.

Now---which ones are your favorites?????

Happy Sunday!!!Hugs,If you want to see all of our Daffodils again, go to my LABEL list on my sidebar and click on Daffodils.

The Rembrandt is my favorite!! I just love those colors! Your flowers are looking gorgeous! It certainly brightens my day. It's raining like crazy at the cabin right now and we are headed home shortly.

Hi Betsy, They are all beautiful! I am just happy to see any. I move some from our first home to the 2nd one in 96 they did not bloom again till 2005. So I left them there as I did not want to wait another 9 years. I found the ones I have now for .05c after there bloom was up last year. So I now have red yellow and white.

They are all beautiful but I think the Bright Pink Lady is my favorite. How do you remember the names of them? I plant them and by the next year, I can't remember their name. Maybe age has something to do with it....LOL

Hi Betsy,You certainly have a large variety of tulips and some wonderful wow colors!! I love them all...they really add a lot to lift one's spirits and to make your house look so inviting!! Very Nice!! :)

Betsy, those are beautiful! In answer to your question on my blog...it wasn't painful this time because I've been back a lot of times. When I first went back in was kind of painful but I also had a lot of good memories.

Wow, these tulips are exquisite! And the variety! Amazing! Flowers are almost like children, as we lovingly tend to each one! I would be hard pressed to pick one I love best! Betsy, you need to go into the notes and cards business! These photos are wonderful!

They are all beautiful in different ways! Wow...what a garden of tulips you have! That's Joy's favorite flower! She always asks for those at dance recital time! :) I guess I would have to say the ones with red are my favorites...the Red Dynasty and the Rembrandt. Red is just hard to beat in my book, especially when it comes to a tulip!

This spring tulip season is a symbolic reminder too of the financial crash: didn't the Dutch start the modern day version of the speculative bubble with tulip market. (By the way, I'll pay any price for the Red Dynastys! -- can I by on credit?)

It's hard to pick favorites with all of those beauties. Everyone I'd come to I'd think "Oh, I love that one" then I'd scroll to the next one and keep ooohing and awwwing. But I did like the Mardi Gras one. Very, Very, Pretty!

I think my favorites are the Bright Pink Lady and Mardi Gras. :0) Thanks for visiting me....I love hearing from you..glad you are home from Texas.

Guess what!?...we are headed for them dar mountains this Thursday!!!! woohoo ..seems like FOREVER trying to get there..this has to have been the longest winter in history for me..LOL Of course, it's because every time we'd schedule that moving truck it would start sleeting or snowing!
